Note: Thanks for the reviews. Any ideas just let me know. Let's begin.

Nienna felt the warm sun of her face, even if she could not see it. Under the guidance of Elrohir, they had made it nearly to Rivendell. "Nienna, why are you slowing down?" Elrohir asked. He was worried for her; normally Elves could die of grief if they were blind.

"I need to relief myself, Ada. Unless the horse does not mind getting wet." Nienna answered her father, while looking at him. Elrohir laughed and nodded and then remembered that she could not see it and answered. "Sure, I will wait here for you. Tell me if you need any help."

Nienna nodded and slid of her horse. After a good 10 minutes, she came back. Signing she climbed back on. "Do you think Legolas will come?" She asked the question that she had wanted to ask for such a long time.

"I don't know, child. I am sure he will, he loves you." Elrohir answered, looking at her. "Ada, why are you making that face?" Nienna asked, nearly scaring Elrohir off his horse.

"What do you mean, Nienna? Can you see me?" Elrohir asked.

Nienna shook her head and answered. "No, but I can hear you." Nienna pulled her horse up next to her father's and asked. "Can we go to Grandpa?"

"Yes, let's do that." Elrohir answered before rushed his horse into a gallop, leading the way to Rivendell.


Elrond was waiting for Elrohir and Nienna to arrive. He looked up from his work when her heard to horse coming running into the courtyard. He walked downstairs and straightened his robes before he walked into the courtyard to greet his granddaughter. The sight that greeted him there was not the one that he expected. Elrohir's shirt was ripped and Nienna was wearing one piece of it in front of her eyes.

"What has happened?" He demanded. Nienna turned to him when she heard him and said. "Grandpa?"

"Yes, child. I am here." He told her before he turned to his son once again. "You never said it was this bad. There was just an orc attack, right?"

"Yes, there was an orc attack. I got knocked out and he slashed Nienna before I could react." Elrohir said, in a weary voice. "Did you contact Legolas, like I asked you?"

"Yes, he is coming." Elrond said, grabbing Nienna's hand and leading her into his study. When they came there, he sat her down in a chair and while pulling off the torn shirt in front of her eyes, he asked. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Nienna felt her vision spin. She could see the outline but it was too blurry to see fully, after a minute it went dark again. "I think there are two." She guessed.

"Three. This is worse then I fear. Nienna what can you see?" Elrond asked. Nienna could detect the layer of panic in the Elven's Lord voice. "It is blurry and now it is black." She stated simply, her composure seemed to fail and she started shaking.

"Hush it will be fine." Elrond smoothened her while he wrapped his arms around her and held her. "Cry all you want, we will send for somebody to get your vision back."

"It is not that. I am not afraid of the dark, but I am frightened of walking into anything," Nienna said, relaxing against Elrond. She heard him laugh and he asked. "Is your hearing better and your smell and other senses?"

"Yes, you smell like medication." She answered, pulling away. She felt him put something cold on her eyes before he wrapped another bandage around it. The pain in her eyes subsided.


Legolas pulled his horse to a stop when he came into the courtyard in Rivendell. He had to fight the urge to fall head first off his horse. He was tired to the bone. It took him 5 days from Eryn Lasgalen to Rivendell while normally it would take about 2 weeks. He had left Moriethel with his father after the message had come.

"My Lord Elrond." Legolas answered, falling into a deep bow. "Prince Legolas, I will take you to your room." Elrond said, pulling Legolas to his feet. He saw the weariness and concern stretch the young Elf's features. He wished that the two kids could be happy without anything else interrupting them.

"But Nienna…?"

"Is waiting in the room. She heard you come in." Elrond stated simply while leading Legolas to a room and opening the door, stepping aside and closing the door behind him so that they could have some peace.

"Legolas?" Nienna softly asked. She recognized her husband's sent and ragged breathing. "You came so fast. Go sit down, Meleth, else you will only wear yourself out."

"Nienna, how are you?" Legolas asked, walked up to her but keeping his distant.

"I am fine, my eyes just hurt. Elrond said he would have the results tomorrow. They keep a bandage for my eyes because else they hurt. Please come here and let me hold you." Nienna said while turning away from the window.

Legolas did not need more then that and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her. With a sign he relaxed and said in a rasp whisper. "I was so worried for you. Elrond's letter was so vague, I thought you were going to fade and here I find you so hopeful. I love you so much, Meleth-Nin." Tears were falling from his eyes and he was shaking with the emotions he had not shared with anybody.

"Hush, I love you too, Legolas." Nienna answered, covering her face in his shoulder. Legolas felt pain wrack through him and knew it was Nienna that was hurting. He held her closer and while kissing her eyes, he then tilted back her head and softly kissed her on the lips. That was the start of a long night filled with passion for the two young and weary lovers.

Hope you liked it. Please review and tell me if you want Nienna blind for 100 , for about 75 or less. And post some ideas.
